The music scene in The Netherlands is better than ever if you ask me. The best band is without a doubt De Staat, who are influenced by bands like Queens of the Stone Age, Dead Weather etc. Check out their 'hit'single of the first album and the first single of their second album. Their second effort, Machinery, is currently number two in the top albums of 2011 for me:

There's loads more good Dutch bands lately, check out acts like Tim Knol (singer/songwriter), Go Back To The Zoo (Pop/Indie), Death Letters (Blues/Rock/Punk) or Drive Like Mario (Dessert rock).

YESSSS!!! I LOOOOOOOOOVE them!!! soo good. ten points!!! This is a local band from my home town that is also inspired by Queens of the Stone AGE. ROSE HILL DRIVE (they are already on guitar hero and things like this)
